Research summary
The clinical trial BCX9930-202 will investigate if, in PNH patients, BCX9930 oral therapy is better than C5 inhibitor treatment (given via iv infusions), over a 24 week period, followed by a 28 week treatment period with all patients on BCX9930 to assess long term safety and tolerability.
PNH patients who are receiving the standard of care, a C5 inhibitor, can still experience uncontrolled disease, with low haemoglobin levels and often a continued need for transfusions.
This study will assess a new oral treatment BCX9930 with a different mode of action to the current standard of care (C5 inhibitors).
Enrolled patients will have been treated with C5 inhibitors, but remain in need of further therapy. The study treatment will last 52 weeks and involve at least monthly visits to the research sites for blood tests and physical examinationsREC name
